ReplyDeleteYour fingers have been flying. The cross stitch ornaments are sweet. I am sure they will be loved. All those cowls will be greatly appreciated in Iowa. They are very cold right now. Have a marvelous night and will look forward to tomorrows post.
ReplyDeleteThe cross stitch ornaments are just beautiful! I know the recipients will be so grateful to have something so lovely. You have been so busy!
ReplyDeleteMint Cocoa lip gloss! That sounds yummy. All of your cowls look great. You're doubling the yarn, right? So cozy they will be! Yay you, for getting all those cross stitch pictures finished. I look forward to seeing them sewn up and finished. I keep seeing cute cross stitch patterns I want to make, but I must not be distracted from my main goal at year's end - using up yarn! So impressed at how much you're able to accomplish, Sam! You're an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou are almost done with the ornaments...they will be treasured for sure! That cowl is so pretty...love the colors:)
ReplyDeleteMint Chocolate lib balm sounds just delicious! Love the finished cowls and I hope you got the ornaments all finished yesterday. You've been so busy with your Christmas Making this year Sam, I hope you get to settle down over the holidays and relax. Ruth
